Definitions

  • U.S. Patent No. 4,960,841 disclose block copolymers composed of polyphenylene sulfide and polyphenylene sulf ⁇ de sulfone, reinforcing filler, and an optional additional polymer.
  • the compositions of U.S. Patent No. 4,960,841 require a polyphenylene sulfide/polyphenylene sulfide sulfone block copolymer.
  • Phenoxy polymers do not have terminal highly reactive epoxy groups and are thermally stable materials with a long shelf life.
  • the phenoxy polymers can be used without further chemical conversion. They require no catalysts, curing agents or hardeners to be useful products while epoxy polymers require catalysts, curing agents or hardeners to be useful.
  • suitable bisphenols include 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylether, 4,4'-dihydroxyphenylsulfone, and 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2,4-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylbutane, 1 , 1 -bis-(4- hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane, ⁇ , ⁇ '-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-p-diisopropylbenzene, 2,2-bis-(3- methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, bis-(3,5- dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, 2,2-bis-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, bis- (3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfone, 2,4-bis-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2- mercaptan, l
  • copolymers suitable for use in this invention include a polyethersulfone/polyetherethersulfone copolymer formed by the polycondensation of 4,4'- dihalodiphenylsulfone (typically 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylsulfone), 4,4'- dihydroxydiphenylsulfone and hydroquinone.
  • 4,4'- dihalodiphenylsulfone typically 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylsulfone
  • 4,4'- dihydroxydiphenylsulfone 4,4'- dihydroxydiphenylsulfone and hydroquinone.
  • Vacuum venting of the extruder was provided at barrel 6 to allow for removal of moisture and other trace volatiles evolved at the elevated compounding temperatures.
  • the extruder was fitted with a four-hole die, each hole being 3 mm in diameter and the formed molten strands were cooled in a water bath then cut in a pelletizer to form good quality pellets.
  • the pellets from the Control and each of Examples 1 and 2 were then dried overnight in a desiccated air oven operated at about 150 °C.
  • the dried resin pellets of each formulation were then injection molded using a 125-ton Battenfeld injection molding machine using a melt temperature of about 360 °C and a mold temperature of about 125 °C to produce 0.125 inch-thick ASTM test parts.
  • Additional embodiments of the present invention include melt fabricated, injection molded, extruded, thermoformed, or blow-molded articles made from any of the polymer compositions described herein.
